 What Is the Mirena IUD?

The Mirena IUD is a small, t-shaped plastic device that is inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider and works as a contraceptive by releasing a low dose of levonorgestrel (a synthetic progestin hormone) directly into the uterus. Like other contraceptives, the hormone in Mirena is designed to prevent pregnancy by thinning the lining of the uterus, thereby preventing sperm from reaching and fertilizing and egg, and by thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. Should these attempts not work the a IUD itself aborts a fertilized egg

The Mirena IUD is Manufactured by Bayer Pharmaceuticals

Bayer HealthCare claims to manufacturer “products that will improve human health worldwide by diagnosing, preventing and treating diseases. As a specialty pharmaceutical company, we focus our efforts where we can have the most impact.”

Bayer is also the manufacturer of Yaz. A birth control pill  which causes blood clots in young women. Bayer has indicated to shareholders in its latest financial report that it will reserve an additional $262.5 million to settle Yaz and Yasmin lawsuits over blood clots.

 History Of The Mirena IUD

The Mirena IUD was approved by the Food and Drug Administration  in 2000. The Mirena IUD can be left in place for up to five years. Additonally the Mirena was FDA-approved in 2009 to treat heavy menstrual bleeding in women who prefer intrauterine contraception as their method of birth control.

On January 14, 2010, The FDA sent a warning letter to Bayer regarding its live consumer-directed program involving Mirena representatives who traveled to consumers’ homes. The letter stated that Bayer, the manufacturer, “overstates the efficacy of Mirena IUD, presents unsubstantiated claims, minimizes the risks of using Mirena IUD , and includes false or misleading presentations regarding Mirena IUD .”

January 2013, A motion has been filed to centralize nationwide Mirena lawsuits into one federal court. Plaintiff Stephanie Barnett has filed a motion with the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation (JPML) seeking the creation of an MDL in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, where her lawsuit is currently pending. With pending actions in several other states, she argues that an MDL is necessary to avoid conflicting rulings in multiple courts
